The stadium will be constructed on classical Greco-Roman lines and due to open in 2009. The Colosseum will rise to 148 feet (45 metres), with a dome measuring 394 feet (120 metres) across. It will be clad in translucent material that allows it to glow in the dark. The arena, by the Clyde in Glasgow, will seat 12,500, the same as London’s Wembley Arena. But unlike Wembley and other large arenas in the UK, the Colosseum will not be built around a sporting ‘key’. The design is solely dedicated to huge entertainment events such as concerts and theatrical performances.”
